"Everyone is getting paid more now because of Conor. That's the reality" --- Ali Abdelaziz

[Son Peyote]

Everybody is getting paid more now because Conor. That's the reality. Do I respect Conor? Yes, a lot. Before y'know I had a little beef with him because I wanted him to fight Frankie. But none of this shit's personal. I think he's a smart guy.

Like I said. Conor is the first star with balls to stand up for what he's worth. MMA fans cry about MMA fighter pay while shitting on Conor for asking for his worth and streaming ppv. Worst fan base on Earth

Depsite what Sherdorks say, it doesn't change the fact that Conor has been a tremendous help for this sport. A guy like Eddie who had to grind his whole life, and is now set for life. Kids that never even thought about MMA now wanting to be just like Conor when they grow up and pursue MMA. I can only hope more Conors come into this sport very soon to push it even further.

Khabib can take every summer off and fights once a year but

Conor can't take time to negotiate the biggest contract in UFC history.

Everyone wants MMA fighters to get paid more

Except when it's Conor McGregor, arguably the most underpaid.

Conor McGregor is the only reason casuals can tell Nick & Nate Diaz apart

Conor McGregor: God's gift to MMA.

Yup kind of like how Jon Jones is still the goat despite being a proven cheater and ducking replacement fights. but Conor is a pussy even through he fought Aldo and short term Mendes and Diaz

 

[ShreddinMMA]

Don't disagree with this at all. It's why I supported Conor fighting with the UFC to push up his paydays. Other fighters took notice and started pushing back on the UFC too.

The issues they have with Conor now are beyond that, sadly.

 

[Brass Balls]

Funny thing is Conor's life changing pay day celebraty sparing didn't benifit one mma fighter other than himself.
Isn't he awesome.

Yeah he Can do that but stop holding up divisions

One of the greatest things about Conor is that he carry's around a WSJ for show but can't read it.

So when khabib gets the belt and fights once a year (hopefully) surely all the conor haters will be begging for him to be stripped

From Condom Depot money to Reebok money.

Actually, scratch that; guys were probably making a hell of a lot more money for having that logo stitched on their arse than they ever were for dressing up like Power Ranger castoffs.

The thought of Khabib as champ is terrifying. Might as well announce an interim title fight and opponents the day after Khabib wins the Lightweight championship.

It still might, give it some time.
Would you really be surprised if more MMA "stars" stepped into the boxing ring in the future?
Supply and demand brother. If people are willing to pay for it, and they have already proven that they are, it is going to keep happening.

Personally, I don't give one fuck about what fighters have to do to make their money.
Yes it sucks when titles are held up because they are not being defended, but at the end of the day, I'm more concerned about seeing entertaining fights than I am about who defends a belt.

How many countless threads has everyone seen about fighter pay not being enough?
I don't disagree at all, it isn't enough in most cases, but as soon as someone goes out there and makes a killing and then takes control over his own future by being demanding about their pay, people forget about all this and bring the sycophantic corporate cog in the machine mentality to the conversation.

They should tank him.

Zuffa boxing and shared cards would all be the result of conor. If they can get a few boxing stars it sure would benefit others

As it stands now Khabib would then be twice as active a champ as Conor and that is assuming Conor actually fights this year.

 

[LockardTheGOAT]

So how did Conor help everyone else get paid more again?
